The family Mac mini has been bit by this bug where macOS perpetually tells you about Background Items Added, and I thought maybe it was a Rogue Amoeba thing since I had just installed Audio Hijack.
Very annoying, but hopefully fixed soon?
Dockhunt is the kind of web + Mac nerdy stuff I love - sharing the tooling or metadata on your day in front of your computer.
Nothing quite like checking your credit card statements to motivate you to send out invoices for your solo business. 😆😱
From +2C to feels like -35C in a couple days. No wonder my head feels all discombobulated.
Is upgrading your wifi router from the stock internet provider version worth the $ these days?

How has it been 3 years since I published this how to record a podcast with Audio Hijack tutorial? What is time even? Watching it and seeing pre-pandemic Chris sitting their naively unaware of what’s about to hit the world. 😞 Time to update it for @RogueAmoeba’s v4 of the app!

I dig tools like Descript for editing - but I feel like I’ve stared at audio this way for long enough that I can almost see the words as I’m editing. I’d still love a way to have a text searchable archive of shows, which is where Descript is super handy. #podcasteditor
This is so dumb. But still laughing. Winter’s Back - parody of Sexyback.
I’m awful at goal setting in longer term situations. I know my business is at a plateau, and it’s fine, but beyond some sort of capitalist “get more money so I can work less?” thought, I’m overwhelmed at the thought of small changes to grow. Maybe I’ll learn by osmosis. :)
No video game has held on with our kids like Minecraft has. Oldest to youngest can still dip in and lose hours to the game, having fun, exploring new features.
How Spider-Verse Is Leading the Shift Away from “The Pixar Look” - I was pleasantly surprised that the new Puss in Boots movie incorporates elements of this style in it’s production rather than the previous Shrek style animation.
Standup: I made coffee. It isn’t very good. But I’ll keep drinking it because I’m too cheap and lazy to start over. I’m learning about Wilco while editing this week’s Learn with Jason episode.

Travel to #Sinaloa State, including #Mazatlan, not currently recommended due to violence there over El Chapo’s son apparently being arrested. More details on Canadian Govt travel site.
I fired up Twitter to figure out how I wanted to remove past tweets and archive my account, only to be connected via a recommendation to a potential client. As much as I want to 💩on the bird place, it has given me connections to most of my current and past #podcast clients.

Finished reading: Us Against You by Fredrik Backman 📚
A new tradition I’m starting this year: doing my 🍋 business' accounting catch up for the previous year while watching the World Junior Hockey Championships. #WorldJuniors2023
I’m motivating myself to get back into work brain (slowly) by tackling month end invoicing (Hello Jan 2nd!) while simultaneously shopping for a new TV I don’t need but want.
Us Against You by Fredrik Backman is deceptively intense. I’m half way through and there’s a ticking bomb just beneath the top level story waiting to go off. (It’s the follow up to the fantastic “Beartown”.📚
